CHINESE NEW YEAR ITEMS! 🌹🍊

14/01/2025

湯圓 (Tang Yuan), or sweet glutinous rice balls, are a popular food during Chinese New Year. These round, chewy rice dumplings are often filled with sweet fillings like sesame paste and peanut butter, and they are traditionally served in a warm, sweet broth.

1. Symbol of Family Unity and Togetherness
The round shape of TangYuan is highly symbolic. In Chinese culture, the circle represents unity, completeness, and wholeness. Eating Tangyuan during Chinese New Year symbolizes the coming together of family members and the hope for harmony and togetherness in the year ahead. The practice of sharing these rice balls with family members reinforces the importance of family bonds and unity.

2. Symbol of Happiness and Good Fortune
TangYuan are also associated with good fortune. The word 圓 (yuán) not only means "round" but also sounds like the word for reunion and perfect harmony in Chinese. Eating 湯圓 is thought to bring happiness and ensure that the family will enjoy a harmonious and prosperous year together.

3. Celebration of the New Year
In many parts of China and Taiwan, TangYuan are traditionally eaten on the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year, which is also the Lantern Festival (元宵节), marking the end of the New Year celebrations. On this day, families gather to celebrate the end of the holiday with a final feast, and TangYuan is a staple dish, symbolizing the completion of the New Year festivities.

4. Symbol of Renewal and Fresh Beginnings
The sweet fillings inside TangYuan (like black sesame and peanut) are often associated with sweetness and the hope for a sweet life in the coming year. The round shape also represents the idea of starting fresh and embracing new beginnings, which ties into the tradition of starting anew with the arrival of the Chinese New Year.

5. Bringing Luck and Prosperity
Eating TangYuan is believed to bring good luck and wealth in the coming year. The fillings inside the Tangyuan are often chosen for their symbolic meanings as well—black sesame (which signifies wealth) and peanut (for happiness). The soft, sticky texture of the rice ball also represents the idea of sticking together as a family or community.

This Chinese New Year, don't forget to share the gift of longevity—give your elders a delicious LONG LIFE PAO 壽桃包 for good health and happiness in the year ahead!

1. Symbol of Longevity and Immortality
The primary reason for eating it during Chinese New Year is that they are shaped like peaches, which are widely regarded as symbols of longevity in Chinese culture. The peach is associated with the Peach of Immortality, a mythical fruit that, according to Chinese folklore, grants eternal life when eaten. By eating Long Life Pao, people are symbolically wishing for a long life and good health in the coming year.

2. New Year Blessings
During Chinese New Year, it is customary to offer blessings of longevity, prosperity, and good fortune to family and friends. Long Life Pao are often served as part of this tradition, as they symbolize the wish for a long and healthy life, which is a key aspect of the New Year’s celebrations. The act of sharing these buns with loved ones reinforces the idea of passing on good wishes for health and longevity.

3. Cultural Tradition
In traditional Chinese culture, the New Year is a time to honor ancestors and offer prayers for a prosperous year. Long Life Pao are often used in family gatherings, temple offerings, or even birthday celebrations, especially for the elderly. Offering Long Life Pao to older generations is a way of honoring them and wishing them good health and a long life. It’s a gesture of respect for elders, a core value in Chinese society.

4. Sweetness and Symbolism of Good Fortune
Like many foods in Chinese New Year, Long Life Pao are made with a sweet filling, often lotus seed paste or red bean paste. Sweet foods in Chinese culture symbolize good fortune and happiness, so the sweetness of the Long Life Pao further reinforces the positive, joyful wishes for the year ahead. The round shape of the buns also symbolizes completeness and unity, representing family harmony and the hope for a balanced, happy year.

5. Ritual and Tradition of Eating with Family
As with many traditional foods during the New Year, eating Long Life Pao has become a ritual in many families, where members come together to share the delicacy. This sharing reinforces the ideas of unity, family, and continuity, all of which are central to Chinese New Year celebrations.

Why do we give and receive TIKOY (年糕） during Chinese New Year?

1. Symbol of Growth and Progress
The word 年 (nián) means "year," and 糕 (gāo) refers to a cake or a sweet pastry, but it also sounds like 高 (gāo), which means "high" or "tall." Thus, eating TIKOY 年糕 is symbolic of growing higher or advancing to a higher level in life. People eat it to express the hope that in the coming year, they will experience personal growth, career advancement, and increased success.

2. Prosperity and Wealth
The sticky, glutinous texture of Tikoy is another reason for its symbolic significance. Sticky foods like Tikoy represent stability, and in the context of Chinese New Year, it is believed that eating it will ensure a stable and prosperous year, with no financial or emotional setbacks. The cake’s dense consistency also signifies that the coming year will be full of solid, reliable progress.

3. Reunion and Family Togetherness
During Chinese New Year, the celebration is not only about prosperity but also about family unity. The tradition of eating Tikoy is often a shared family experience, symbolizing unity and the idea of sticking together through thick and thin. It’s commonly served during family gatherings and is often part of the New Year’s feast, where the entire family celebrates together.

Why RADISH CAKE on Chinese New Year?

1. Symbol of Good Luck and Prosperity: The Chinese word for radish (萝卜, luóbo) sounds similar to the word for "good fortune" (好彩, hǎo cǎi) in Cantonese, which is a slang term for having good luck. This phonetic similarity makes radish cake a symbol of good fortune and prosperity for the coming year.

2. Wealth and Success: Radish cake is often made with ingredients like rice flour and Chinese sausages or dried shrimp, which are associated with abundance and wealth.

3. Cultural Tradition: Eating radish cake is a longstanding Chinese New Year tradition, particularly in Southern China and Hong Kong. The dish is often served as part of the New Year’s feast because it is a beloved comfort food that brings families together.

4. Sticky and Firm Texture: The texture of the radish cake is firm and sticky, symbolizing stability, unity, and the hope that the coming year will be filled with strong foundations, good relationships, and the ability to "stick" to one’s goals.

1. 花生粩
Peanut Roll
6 pcs
P75

2. 紅粩花
Red Rice Roll
2 pcs
P30

The word 花生”粩“ (peanut roll) and 紅”粩“花 （red rice roll) sounds similar to the Chinese phrase "吃到老" (chī dào lǎo), which literally means "eat until old" or "live long." This phonetic similarity is considered auspicious, as it suggests longevity and a wish for good health and a long life. The chewy, sticky texture of red angpao roll or peanut roll also symbolizes the idea of sticking together and the continuity of family and tradition, which are important themes during the Chinese New Year celebration.

Therefore, eating it during the New Year is seen as a way to bring good fortune, health, and long life in the coming year.
